7 T is the fate of thole who toil at the lower employments of life, to be rather driven by the fear 
of evil, than attracted by the profpeét of good; to be expofed to cenfure, without hope of praife ; 
to be difgraced by mifcirriage, or punithed for negleét, where fuccels would have been without 
applaufe, and diligence without reward. 


Among thefe unhappy mortals is the writer of dictionaries; whom mankind have confidered, not 
as the pupil, but the flave of feience, the pionier of literature, doomed only to, remove rubbith and 
Bee bencine Gong taeipalssioe Learning and Genius, who pref forward to conqueft and glory, 
without beftowing a finile on the humble drudge that facilitates their progrefS, Every other authour 
may alpire to praife; the lexicographer can only hope to efcape reproach, and even this negative 
recompente has been yet granted t0 very few. 








T have, notwithftanding this difcouragement, attempted a diGionary of the Engii/h language, which, 
while it was employed in the cultivation of every fpecies of literature, has itfelf been hitherto neglected, 
faffered to fpread, under the dirediion of chance, into wild exuberance, refigned to the tyranny of 
time and fathion, and expofed to the corruptions of ignorance, and caprices of innovation. 











When I took the firft furvey of my undertaking, I found our {peech copious without order, and 
energetick without rules: wherever I turned my view, there was perplexity to be difentangled, and 
confufion to be regulated; choice was to be made out of houndlefs variety, without any eltablified 
principle of {eleétion ; adulterations were to be detected, without a fettled telt of purity ; and modes of 
expreflion to be rejected ot received, without the fifftages of any writers of clafiical reputation or ac= 
knowledged authority. Pe 


Having therefore no affiflance but froth general grammar, I applied myfelf to the perufal of our 
writers ; and noting whatever might be of ufe to.afcertain or illuftrate any word or phrale, accu- 
mulated in time the materials of a didtionary, which, by degrees, I reduced to method, eftablifhing 
to myfelf, in the progrels of the work, fach rules as experience and analogy fuggefted to me; ex. 
perience, which praétice and oblervation were continually increafing ; “and analogy, which, though in 
fome words obfcure, was evident in others: 





In adjuting the OxrHocrarHy, which has been to this time urifettled and fortuitous, I found it 
neceflary to diftinguith thofe irregularities that are inherent in our tongue, and perhaps coeval with 
it, from others which the ignorance or negligence of later writers has produced. Every language 
has its anomalies, which, though inconvenient, and in themfelves once unneceffary, mult be tolerated 
among the imperfeétiona of human things, and which require only to be regiftred; that they may not 
be increafed, and afeertained, that they may not be confounded + but every language has likewife its im= 
proprieties and abfurdities, which it is the duty of the lexicogeapher to correct of proferibe. 








As language was at its beginning merely oral, all words of neceflary or common ule were {poken 
before they were written; and while they were unfixed by any vifible figns, muft have been fpoken 
with great diverfity, as we now obferye thofe who cannot read to eatch founds imperfectly, and utter 
them negligently." When this wild and barbarous jargon was firft reduced toan alphabet, every penman 
endeavoured to exprefs, as he could, the founds which he was accuitomed. to pronounce or to receive, 
and vitiated in writing fach words as were already vitlated in {peech. The powers of the letters, 


when they were applied to a new language, mult haye been vague and uniettled, and therefore 
different hands would exhibit the fame found by different combinations, 








From this uncertain pronunciation arife in a great part the various dialeds of the fame country, which 
will always beobferved to grow fewer, and lef different, as books are multiplied ; and from this arbitrary 
reprefentation of founds by letters, proceeds that diverfity of {pelling obfervable in the Saxon remains, 


and I fuppofe in the firft Books of every nation, which perplexes or deftroys analogy, and produces ano. 
malous formations, which, being once incorporated, can never be afterward difmilied or reformed, 











OF this kind are the derivatives /engtb from long, ffrength from firongs darling from dear, breath 


from bread, from dry, drought, and fiom high, bright, which Milton, in zeal for analogy, wiitcs biabth

BooR Bry RapA CE, 


This uncertainty is moft frequent in the yowels, which are fo capricionfly pronounced, snd {> 
differently modified, by accident or affeétation, not only in every province,- but in every mouth, that 
to them, as is well known to etymologifts, little regard is to be thewn in the deduétion of one Jan 
guage from another. i 

Such defeats are not errours in orthography, but {pots of barbarity impreffed fo deep in the Exgli/h 
Tanguage, that criticifm can never walh them away ; thefe, therefore, muft be permitted to remain 
“Untouched: but many words have likewife been altered by accident, or depraved by ignorancey asthe 
Pronunciation of the vulgar has been weakly followed; and fome Mill continue to be varioufly 
written, as authours differ in their care or fill: of thele it was proper to enquire the tr 
griphy, which I have. always confidered as depending on their derivation. and have therefore referced 

eth to their original languages’: thus P write enchant, enchantment, enchanter, after the French, ance ine 
cantation after the Latin thus entire is chofen rather than intire, becaule it paffed to vs not from 
the Latin integer, but from the French éntier. 7 








ortho= 











OF many words it is difficult to fay whether they. were immedistely received from the Lath or 
the French, fisce at the time when we had dominions in Pravice, we had Latin fervice in our churches. 
“Teis, however, my opinion, that the French generally fapplied us; for we haye few Latin words 
among the terms of domeltick ufe, which are not French but many French, which are very remote 
from Latin. 








Even in words of which the derivation is apparent, T have been often obliged to facrifice uniformity 
to cuftom; thus I write, in compliance Se aiabalets majority, convey and srueigh, deceit and 
receipt, fancy and phantes ; Sometimes the derivative varies from the primitive, as explain and 
explanation, repeat and repetition, 





Some combinations of letters having the fame power are ufed indifferently without any difcoverable 
teafon of choice, asin choak, choke ; foap, fope; fewel, fuel, and many others; which I have fometimes 
inferted twice, that thofé who fearch for them under either form, may not {earch in vain, 


Tn examining the orthography of any doubtful word, the mode of {palling by which it is inferted ix 
the feries of the dictionary, is to be confidered as that to which Egive, perhaps not often rathly, the pre~ 
ference. I have left, inthe examples, to every authour his own practice unmolefted, that the reader imay 
balance fuffrages, and judge between us: but this queition is not always to be determined by reputed 
or by real learning; fome men, intent upon greater things, have thought little on founds and deriva 
tions; fome, knowing in the ancient tongues, have neglected thofe in which our words are commanly 
to be fought. ‘Thus Hammond writes feciblenc)s for feafiblenefi, becaule 1 fuppole he imagined it de 
fived immediately from the Latin; and forne words, fuch as dependant, dependent 5 dependance, de 
dence, vary theit final fyllable, as one of other language is prefent tothe wnter. * 











In this part of the work, where! caprice has long wantoned withont controul, and vanity fought 
praife by petty reformation, I have endeavoured to proceed with a {cholar’s reverence for antiquity, and 
4 grammarian's regard to the gevius of our tongue. I have attempted few shterations, and among thole 
fev, pethiaps the greater partis from the modern to the ancient praétice ; and I hope I may be allowed to 
¥ecommend to thofe, whole thonghts have been, perhaps, employed too ly on verbal fingularities, 
not to difturby-upon narrow views, or for minute propriety, the orthography of their fathers. Ie has been 
afferted, that for the law to be Anown, is of more importance than to be right. - Change, fays Hooker, 
is not made withont inconvenience, even from worfe to bette sin conftaney and ftability 
a general and lifting advantage, which will always oyerbalance the flow improvements of gradual 
cofreétion. Much le(S ought our written language to comply with the corruptions of 
or copy that which every variation of time or place makes different from 
changes, which will again be changed; while imitation is employed in obferving them.

‘This recommendation of fteadinefs and’ uniformity does not proceed from an opinion, thet particulir 
combinations of letters have much influence on human. happinefs ; or that truth may not be {u 
fully taught by modes of fpelling fanciful and erroneous: Tam not yet fo loft in lexi 
forget that qwords are the daughters of earth, and that things ar 
Pe eat cae Nar iirce andar lmetna. stash of iden i 
ment might be lef apt to decay, and that figns might be permanent, like the things which they denote, 






In fettling the orthography, I have not wholly neglected the pronunciation, which I ha 
by printing an accent upon the acute or elevated fyllable. It will fometimes be found, that the accent 
ig placed by the authour quoted, on a different fyllable from that marked in the alphabetical feries ; it 
is then to be underftood, that cuftom bas varied, or that the authout bas, in my opinion, pronounced 
wrong. Short dircétions are fometimes given where the found of letters is irregular; and if they 
are fometites omitted, defeé in fuch minute obfeivations will be more calily: excufed, than 
fuperiluity.

uents cireumpance, delude, concave, and complicate, though compounds in the Latin, are to wis primi= 
tives» Derivatives, are all thofe that can be referred to any word in Englifh of greater fimplicity. 


‘The derivatives Ihave referred to their primitives, with an accuracy fometimes needlefs; for who does 
ot fee that remotensfi comes fiom remote, lovely from love, concavity from concave, and deminfiratioe 
from demonflrate? but this grammatical exuberance the fcheme of my work did not allow me to reprefs. 
It is of great importance in examining the general fabrick of a language, to trace one word from 
another, by noting the ufusl modes of derivation and infleGion; and uniformity muft be prefeived 


in fyftematical works, though fometimes at the expence of particular propricty. 


Among other derivatives I have been careful to infert and elucidate the anomalons plurals of nouns 
and preterites of verbs, which in the Teufonick dialeéts are very frequent, and, though familiar to thofe 
who have always uféd them, interruptand embarrafé the learners of our language, 


"The two languages from which our primitives have been derived are the Roman and Teutonick: under 
the Reman I comprehend the French and provincial tongues; and under the Teutenick range the Saxon, 
German, and all their kindred dialeéts. “Moft of our polyfyllables are Roman, and our words of one 
Syllable are yery often Teutonic. 





In affigning the Roman original, it has perhaps fometimes happened that I have mentioried only thie 
Latin, when the word was borrowed from the French; and confidering my(elf as employed 
only inthe illuftration of my own language, I have not been very careful to oblerve whether the Latin 
word he pure or barbarous, or the French elegant or obfolete: 





For the Teutonick etymologies f am commonly indebted to Yunius and Shiner, the only names which 
Thave forborn to quote when I copied their books; not that I might appropriate their Iabours or ulurp 
their honours, but that I might (pare a perpetual repetition by one general acknowledgment. OF thefe, 
whom I ought not to mention but with the reyerence due to inftructors and benefactors, ‘Junius ap- 
pears to have excelled in extent of learning, and Skinner in re@titude of underftanding. ‘Junius was 
accurately {killed in all the northern languages, Skinner probably examined the ancient and remoter dialects 
only by occafional infpeétion into dictionaries; but the learning of ‘funius is often of no other ufe than 
fhow him a track by which he may deviate from his purpofe, to which Sinner always preffes forward by 
the thortelt way. SBimuer- io often ignorant, faut newer sitivutoust ‘funius is always full of knowledge ; 
but his variety diftradts his judgment, and his learning is very frequently difgraced by his absudities, 





The votaries of the northern mufés will not perhaps eafily refrain their indignation, when they find 
the name of unius thus degraded by a difadvantageous comparifon; but whatever reverence is due to 
his diligence, “or his attainments, it ean be no criminal degree of cenforioulnels to charge that etymo- 
ogift with want of judgment, who can ferioufly derive dream from drama, becaule life is a drama, and 
adrama isa dream; and who declares with a tone of defiance, that no man e2n fail to derive moan frorn 
hs, manos, who confiders that grief naturally loves to be alone *, 


Our knowledge of the northern literature is fo eanty, that of words undoubtedly Teutonick the original 
is not always to be found in any ancient language, and Thave therefore inferted Dutch or German fublti- 
tutes, which I confider not as radical but parallel, not as the parents, but filters of the Engli/h. 


‘The words which are reprefented as thus related by deftent or cognation, do not always agree in fen! 
for it is incident to words, as to their authours, to degenerate from their anceftors, and to change thelr 
manners when they change their country, It is fuficient, in etymological enquiries, if the fenles of 
kindred words be found fach as may ealily pafé into each ather, or fach as may both be referred to one 
general idea 








The etymology, {0 far as it is yet known, was eafily found in the volumes where it is par- 
ticularly and proleffedly delivered; and, by proper attention to the rules of derivation, the orthogra- 
phy was foon adjufted. But to contner the Woans of our language was a tak of greater difficulty : 
the deficiency of diétionaries was immediately apparent; and when they were exhaufted, what was yet 
wanting muit be fought by fortuitous and unguided excurfions into books, and gleaned as ig

fhould find, or chance thould offer it, in the boundlef$ chaos of a living {peech. My fearch, however, 
has been either filfal or lucky, for Jhaye much augmented the vocabulary, 


‘As my defign was a ditionary, common or appellative, I haye omitted all words which have 
relation to proper names; fuch as rian, Sccinian, Calvini/t, Benedictine, Mabometan; but have 
retained thofe of a more general nature, as Heathen, Pagan. 


OF the terms of art I have received {uch as could be found either in books of feience or technical 
diGionaries ; and have often) inferted, from philofophical writers, words which are {upported perhaps 
only by a fingle authority, and which being not admitted into general ule, fland yet as candidates or 
probationers, and muft depend for their adoption on the fuffiage of futurity, 


The words which our authours have introduced by their knowledge of forcign languages, or igno- 
rance of their own, by vanity or wantonnefs, by compliance with fafhion, or Iuft of innovation, TI have 
regiftred as they occurred, though commoply only to,cenfure'them, and warn others againft the folly 
of naturalizing ufelek foreigners to the injury of the natives. 


Thave not rejeéted any by defign, merely becanfe they, were unneceffary or exuberant; but have 
received thofe which by different writers have been differently formed, as i/cid, and wifeidity, vifcous, 
and vifeofity. 


Compounded or double words Ihave feldom noted, except when they obtain a fignification different from 
that which the components have in their fimple ftate. ‘Thus highwayman, woodman, and borfecounfir, 
require an explication but of bieflike or caachdriver no notice was needed, becaule the primitives cantain 
the meaning of the compouni 








Words arbitiarily formed by a conftant and fettled analogy, like diminutive adjeCtives in ip, as greenifb, 
bluifp, adverbs in fi, a5 dully, openly, fabftantives in nefi, as vilenefi, faultingli, were \els diligently fought, 
and many fometimes have been omitted, when Ihad no authority that invited me to infert them ; not that 
they are not genuine and regular offspringsyof Lngli/b roots, but becaule their relation to the primitive 
being always the fame, their fignification cannot be miflaken, 








'The verbal nouns in ing, fuch as the Leaping of the call, the {radi of the army, are always neglected, 
oF placed only to illuftrate the fenfe of the verb, except when they fignify things as well as actions, and 
have therefore a plural number, as dwelling, ving ; or have an abfolute and abftract Gignification, as 


colauring, painting, learning, 


‘The participles are likewile omitted, unlets, by fignifying rather qualities than aétion, they take 
the nature of adje@ives; as a ¢hinking man, a man of prudence s a pacing horfe, a horfe that can pace: 
thefe I have ventured to, call participial adjeGtives. But neither ase thefe always inferted, becaule 
they are commonly to be underftood, without any danger of miftake, by confulting the verb. 





Obfolete words arc admitted, when they are found in authours not obfolete, or when they have any 
force or beauty that may deferve revival. 


‘As compofition is one of the chief charaéterifticks of a language, I have endeavoured to make fome 
eparation for the univerfal negligence of my predeceffors, by inferting great numbers of compounded 
words, as may be found under after, fore, new, night, fair, and many more. Thefe, numerous 
as they are, might be multiplied, but that ufe and curiofity are here fatisfied, and the frame of our 
language and modes of our combination amply difcovered. 





OF fome forms of compofition, fuch as that by which re is prefixed to note repetition, and un to fig 
ify contrariety ot privatio, all the examples cannot be accumulated, becaufe the ule of thele particles, 
4F not wholly arbitrary, is (0 little limited, that they are hourly affixed to new words as occaffon requires, 
ot is imagined to require them. 





‘There is another kind’ of eompofition moré frequent in our language than perhaps in any other, 
from which arifes to foreigners the greateft difficulty. We modify the fignification of many verbs by 
2 patticle fubjoined ; as to came off, to eleape by a fetch ; to full on, to attack ; tofall of, to apoftatize ; 
to break off, to ftop abruptly ; to bear cut, to jultify ; to fall in, to comply; to give ever, to ceale;, to 
fit off, to embellith ; to fét’in, to begin a continual tenour ; to ft out, to begin @ courfe or journey 5 to 
take off, to copy ; with innumerable expreffions of the fame kind, of which fome appear wildly irregular, 
being fo far ditan from the fenfe of the fimple words, that no fagacity will be able to race the eps by 
which they arrived at the prefent uf, ‘Thefe I have noted with great care; and though I cannot flatter 
myfelf that the collection is complete, I believe I have {0 far affifted the ftudents of our language, that 
this kind of phrafeology will be to longer infuperable; and the combinations of verbs and particles, by 
chance omitted, will be ewlily explained by comparifon with thofe that may be found. 





Many words yet and fippoted only by the name of Bailey, Ainfverth, Philips, or the contragted

many Ihave inferted, Beene chey may pethaps ex, though they have efesped my notice: they are,

, to be yet confidered as refting only tipon the credit of fornier didtionaries. Others, which T 
oe tes uleil, or know! to:be peapersctiough Kevoaldinot ee profane fapport them by authorities, 
Thave fuffered to ftand upon my own atteftation, claiming the fame privilege with my predeceffors of 
being fometimes credited without proof. 


‘The words, thus felested and difpofed, are grammatically confidered: they are referred to the different 

ts of fpeech; traced, when they are irregularly inflected, through their various terminations ; and il- 
Juftrated by oblervations, not indeed of great or ftriking importance, feparately confidered, but necellary 
to the elucidation of our language, and hitherto neglected or forgotten by Bngl/h grammarians. 





That part of my work on which I expeét malignity moft frequently to fulten, is the Explanation’, 
in which I cannot hope to fatisfy thofe, who are perhaps not inclined to be pleated, fince I have not 
always been able to fatisfy mylelf, Fo interpret a language by itfelf is very difficult; many words 
cannot be explained by fynonimes, becaufe/the idea fignified by them has not more than 
one appellation; nor by paraphrale, becavfe fimple ideas cannot be deleribed. When the nature 
of things is unknown, or the notion unfettled and indefinite, and vatious’in various minds, the words 
by which fach notions are conveyed, or fach things denoted, will be ambiguous and perplexed. And 
fach is the fate of haplets lexieography, that not only darknel, but light, impedes anc diftreffes it 5 
things may be not only too little, but too much known, tobe happily illuftrated, To explain, requires 
the ule of terms lefs abftrufe than that which is to be explained, and fuch terms cannot always’ be 
found ; for as nothing can be proved but by fuppofing fomething intuitively known, and evident 
without proof, fo nothing can be defined but by the ufe of words too plain to admit a definition. 


Other words there are, of which’ the fenf@'is’too fubtle and evanefeent to be fixed in'a paraphrae’s 
fach are all thofe which are by the grammarians termed expletives, and, in’ dead languages, are fuifered 
to pals for empty founds, of no other ufé than to fill a verfe, or to modulate a period, but which are 
eafily perceived in living tongues to have power and emphafis, though it be fometimes fuch’ as no 
other form of expreffion can convey. 





My labour has likewife been much increafed by a clas of érbs too frequentin the Eells language, 
of which the fignification is fo loofe and general, the wfe fo vague and indeterminate, and the 
fenfes detorted {o widely from the firtt idea, that it is hard to trace them through the maze of varia 
tion, to catch them on the brink of stor inawity, eo civeaiuferibe them by any limitations, ot interpret 
them by any words of diftingt and fettled meaning fach’ are bear, Break, come, cafe, full, wet, give, 
do, jrct, fet, go, run, make, take, turn, throw. If of thefé the whole power is not accurately delivered, 
it mutt be remembered, that while our language is yet living, and variable by the caprice of every one that 
{peaks it, thefe words are hourly fhifting their relations, and can no miore be a(certained in a dictionary, 
than a grove, in the agitation of a'ftorm, ean be accurately delineated from its pieture in the water. 


The particles are among all’nations applied with {0'gteat latitude, that they are not eafily reducible 
under any regular fcheme of explication: this difficulty is not lef&, nor perliaps greater, in Bngli/h, 
than in other languages. I have laboured them with diligence, I hope with fuccefs; fuch at leat as 
can be expeéted in a talk, which no man, however learned or fagacious, has yet been ablé to perform. 


Some words there are which I cannot explain, becaufe I do not underftand them ; thefe might haye 
been omitted yery often with little inconvenience, but I would not fo far indulge my vanity as to decline 
this confeffion : for when Tully owns himfelf ignorant whether /offis, in the twelve tables, means a 
funeral fong, ot mourning garment ; and Ariftole doubts whether odpevs, in the Iliad, fignifies a mule, 


or _muléteer, I may freely, without thame, leave fome obfeutitics to! happier induftry, or future 
information. 





‘The rigour of interpretative lexicography requires that the explanation, and the word’ explained, fisuld 
be always reciprocal ; this I have always endeavoured, but could not always attain, Words are {eldom 
exaélly fynonimous ; a new term was not introduced, but becaufe the former was thought inadequate: 
names, therefore, have often many idens, but few ideas have many names. Tt was then neceffary 
to ufe the proximate word, for the deficiency of fingle terms can very feldom be fupplied by circum= 
Tocution 5 nor is the inconvenience great of fuch mutilated interpretations, becaufe the fenfe may eafily 
be colleéted entire from the examples, 





Tn every word of extenfive ufe, it was requifite to mark the progeefs of its meaning, and thow by 
what gradations of intermediate fenfe it has pafféd from its primitive to its remote and accidental figni- 
fication ; fo that every foregoing explanation thould tend to that which follows, and the feries be res 
gularly concatenated from the firft notion to the laft. 


This is fpecions, but not always practicable ; Kindred fenfés may be fo interwoven, that the per 
plexity cannot be difentangled, nor any reafon be affigned why one fhould be ranged before ‘the

bited together and fometimies there is! fuch a confafion’ of acceptations, that difcernment is wearied, 
and diftinéion puzzled, and perfeverance hherfelf hurties to an end, by crouding together what the 
cannot feparate. 


‘Thefe complaints of difficulty will, by thofe that have never confidered Words beyond their popular 
ule, be thought only the jargon of a man willing to magnify his labours, ahd procure veneration to 
his ftudies by involution and ob(eurity. But every art is obleure to thofe that have not learned it: this 
uncertainty of terms, and commixture of ideas, is well known to thofe who have joined philofophy with 
grammar; and if T have ‘not expreffed them very clearly, it muft be remembered that I am {peaking of 
that which words are’infufficient to explain. 





© The original fenfe of words is often driven out of ufe ‘by their metaphorical acceptations, yet mult 
be inferted for the fake of a regular origination, ‘Thus know not whether ardour is wled for mate- 
rial beat, or whether flagrant, in Englifs, ever fignifies the fame with burning ; yet fuch are the prix 
‘mitive ideas/of thefe words, which are therefore fet firft, though without examples, that the figurative 
fenfes may be commodioully deduced. 










Such is the exuberance of fignification which many word have obtained, tt 
to colleG all their fenfes ; fometimes the meaning of derivatives muft be foug!: 
‘and fometimes deficient explanations of the primitive may be fupplied in the trai 
anycale of doubt or difficulty, it will be always proper to examine all the words of the fame race; for 
fome: words are flightly pafled over to avoid repetition, fome admitted eafier and clearer explanation thai 
others, and all will be better underftood, as they are confidered in greater variety of fruétures and relations. 





All the interpretations of words are not written with the fime fkill, or the fame bappine(: things 
equally eafy in themfelves, are not all equally eafy to any fingle mind, Every wsiter of a long work 
commits cirours, where there appears neither ambiguity to miflead, nor obfcarity to confound him 3 
and in a fearch like this, many felicities of expreffion will be yy overlooked, many convenient 
parallels will be forgotten, and many particulars will admit improvement from a mind utterly unequal to 
the whole performance, 








But many (eeming faults are to be imputed rather to the nature of the undertaking, than the, negli- 

ice of the performer. Thus fome explanations are nnavoidably reciprocal or circular, as hind, the 
we ofthe flags flac, the male of the hind: fometimes eafier words ate changed into harder, as burial 
into fipulture ot interment, drier into dificcative, drys) into ficcity or aridity, fit into parceyfm ; for the 
eafieft word, whatever it'be, can never be tranflated into one more eafy. “But eafinefS and difficulty 
are merely relative, and’ if the prefent prevalence of our language’ fhould invite foreigners to this 
didionary, many will be aflifled by thofe words which now feem only ‘to increele or produce ob- 
feurity. “Por this reafon Dhave endeavoured frequently to join a Tewonick and Roman interpretation, as to 
curer togladden, or exhiiarate, that every learner of Englijh may be afiifted by his own tongue. 


The folution of all difficulties, and the fapply of all defeéts, mutt’ be fought in the examples, fub- 
joined to the various fenfes of each word, and ranged according tothe time of their authours, 


When firft I collected thefe authorities, T'was defirous that every quotation thould be ufeful to fome 
other end than the illuilration of a word 5 I'therefore extracted from philofophers principles of {cienci 
from hiftorians remarkable facts; from chymifts complete procefles 5 from divines ftriking exhortations 5 
and from poets beautiful deferiptions. Such is defign, while it is yet at a diftance from execution. 
When the time called npon me to range this accumulation of elegance and wifdom into an alphabetical 
feries, I foon difcovered that the bulk of my volumes would fright away the ftadent, and was forced to 
depart from my feheme of including all that was pleafing or ufeful in Bgl literature, and reduce 
my tranferipts very often to clufters of words, in which fearcely any meaning is retained s thus to 
the weatinet§ of copying, I was condemned to add the vexation of expunging. Some paffages I have yet 
fpared, which may relieve the labour of verbal fearches, and interfperfe with yerdure and flowers the 
dufly defarts of barren philology. 














‘The examples, thus mutilated, are no longer to be confiderce as conveying the fentiments or doGrine 
of their authours; the word for the fake of which they are inlerted, with all its appendant claufes, has, 
been carefully preferved ; bat it may fometimes happen, by hafly detruncation, that the general ten- 
dency of the fentence may be changed: the divine may defert his tenets, or the philofopher his fyitem. 





Some of the examples have been taken from writers who were never mentioned as mafters of ele- 
gance or models of file; but words muft be fought where they are nfeds and in what pages, 
eminent for purity, ean terms of manufacture or agriculture be found ? Many quotations ferve no other 
purpofe, than,that of proving the bare exiftence of words, and are therefore felecied with lef ferupu- 
Joufnels than thofe which are to teach their ftruétures and relations. 








My purpofe' was to admit no teftimony of living authours, that I might not be mifled by partiality, 
and that none of my cotemporaties might have realon to complain ; nor have I departed from this 
refolution, but when fome performance of uncommon excellence excited my veneration, when my. 
memory fupplied me, from lite books, with an example that was wanting, or when my heart, 
in the tendernefs of friendthip, folicited admiffion for a favourite name.

have L been from any care to grace’ my pages with modern decorations, that I have flu- 
se ca coll eaaenples ane allege fate wslatbatone reftoration, whole 
wworks I regard as the wells of Bnglifh undgfled, a5 the pure foucces, of genuine diction... Our. lan~ 
unge, for almolta century, has, by the concurrence of many caufes, been gradually departing from its 
original Teutonick charaéter, and deviating towards a Gallice frugtuce. apd, phrafeology,, from which it 
ought to be our endeavour to recal it, by, making our ancient volumes the ground-wark of file, admit. 
ting among the additions of later times, only fach as may {apply real deficiencies, fuck. as, sre readily 
adopted by the genius of our tongue, and incorporate eafily with our native idioms. , 











Bat as every language has a time of rudenel antecedent to perfection, as well a5 of fille refiremene 
and declenfion, I have been. cyutious eft my zeal for antiquity might drive me into, times too re- 
mote, and croud my book with words now no longer underftood. 1 have fixed Sidney's, work for 
the boundary, beyond which.I make few excurfions, From, the authours which .rofé in. the time of 
bith, a fpeech might be formed adequate to all the puxpofes of ufe and elegance, If the lan- 
guage of theology were extracted from Hocker and the tranilation of the Bible; the terms of natural 
Knowledge from Bacon; the phrafes of policy, war, and navigation from Raleigh, the dialect of 
poetry and figtion from Spenfér and Sidney ; and the didtion of common life from Shakefpeare, few ideas 
would be loft to mankind, for want of Engii/b words, in which they. might be expreffed. 











Tt is not fafficient that a word is found, unlefS it be {9 combined as that its meaning is apparently 
determined by the traé& and tenour of the fentence; fuch paifages I have therefore cholen, and 
when it happened that any authour gave definition of a term, or {uch an, explanation. a5 is, equivalent 
to 2 definition, Ihave placed his authority as a {upplement to my. own, without regard to the chrono~ 
logical order, that is otherwife oblerved, 


Some words, indeed, ftand unfupported by any authority, but they are commonly derivative nauns 
or adverbs, formed from their primitives by regular and conftant analogy, or names of things feldom 
occuring in books, or words of which I have reafon to doubt the exiftence, 


There is more danger of cenflire from, ‘the multiplicity than paucity of examples; authorities will 
‘fometimes em to have been accumulated without neceility or ufe, and perhaps {ome will be found, 
which might, without lof, have been omitted. But a work of this kind is not haftily to be charged 
with fuperfluities: thofe quotations which to carelefs or ynfkilful perufers appear only to repeat the 
fame fenfe, will often exhibit. to a_morea¢curate examiner, divésfitics of fignification, or, at leaft, 
afford different fhades of the fame meaning one will thew the word sepled to perfons, another to 
chings ; one will exprefS an ill, another a good, and a third a neutral fenfe; one will prove the ex~ 
preffion genuine from an ancient authour ; another will thew it elegant from a modem : a doubtful 
authority is corroborated by another of more credit; an ambiguous fentence is a(vertained by a paffage 
clear and determinate ; the word, how often foever repeated, appears with new affociates and in different 
combinations, and every quotation contributes fomething to the ftability or enlargement of the language, 











When words are ufed equivocally, I receive them in either fenfe; when they are metaphorical, T 
adopt them in their primitive acceptation, ; 


I have fometimes, though rarely, yielded to the temptation of exhibiting a genealogy of fentiments, 
by thewing how one authour copied the thoughts and diétion of another: fuch quotations are indeed 


little more than repetitions, which might juitly be cenfured, did they not gratify the mind, by 
affording a kind of intellectual hiftory. 


The various fjntaétical ftru€tares occurring in the examples have been carefully noted ; the licence or 
negligence with which many words have been hitherto ufed, has made our file capricious and indeter~ 
minate 5 when the different combinations of the fame word are exhibited together, the preference is 
readily given to propriety, and I have often endeavoured to, direé the choice. 


Thus have I laboured to fettle the orthography, difplay the analogy, regulate the firugures, and 
afeertain the fignification of Englifs words, to perform all the parts of a faithful lexieographer: tut 1 
haye not always executed my own {cheme, or fatisfied my own expeations, ‘The work, whatever 
proofs of diligence and attention it may exhibit, is yet capable of many improvements: the orthography 
which I recommend is fill controvertible, the etymology which I adopt is uncertain, and perhaps 
frequently erroneous ; the explanations are fometimes too much contracted, and fometimes too much 


diffufed, ‘the fignifications are diftinguithed rather with fabtiley than fill, and the attention is harraffed 
with unneceflary minutenefs. 2 








The examples are too offen injudicioufly truncated, and perhaps fometimes, I hope very rarely, 
alleged in a miflaken fenfe; for in making this colleétion I trufted more to memory, than, in a fate 


of difquict and embarraffment, memory can contain, and purpofed to fupply at the review what was 
leftincomplete in the firit tran{eription, 


Many terms appropriated to particular occupations, though neceflary and fignificant, are undoubtedly 
omitted and of the words moft ftudioufly confidered and exemplified, many fenies have eleaped obfervation,

-ceive little. When firft 1 engaged in this work, I refolved to leave neither words nor things sn 
examined, and pleated mylelf with a profpeét of the hours which I thould revel away in featls of litera- 
ture, the obfcure receffes of northern learning, which I thould enter and ranfack,, the treafares-with wich 
T expedted every fearch into thofe negleéted mines to reward my labour, and the triumph with which 
I thould difplay my acquifitions to mankind. When I had: thus enquired into the original of words, 
I refolved to thow likewife my attention to things; to pierce deep into every ‘cience, to enquire the 
nature of every fabftance of which I inferted the name, to limit every idea by a definition fixiéily logical, 

exhibit every produétion of art or nature in an accurate defeription, that my bool might be in place 
of all other digtonaries whether appellative or technical. But thefe were the dreams of @ poet doomed 
at lift to wake'a lexicographer. I {oon found that it is too late to looks for inftruments, when the work 
ele aera eaters UOT bad brought to my tfk, with thofe I mutt finally 
perform it, To deliberate whenever I doubted, to enquire whenever I was ignorant, would have pro- 
4raéted the undertaking without end, and, perhaps, without much improvement ; for I did not find by my 
firft experiments, that what I had not of my own was eafily'ta be obtained : I faw that one enquiry only 
give occalion to another, that book referred to book, that to {earch was not always to find, and to find 
Was not always to be informed ; and that thus to perfue perfeétion, was, like the firft inhabitants of 
Arcadia, to chace the fun, which, when they had reached the hill where he feemed to. reft, was ‘tll 
‘Deheld at the fame diftance from them. 














I then contraéted my defign, determining to confide in my(f, and no longer to folicit auxiliaries, 
which produced more incumbrance than affiftance: by this I obtained at leaft one advantage, that I fet 
limits to my work, which would in time be finithed, though not completed. 


Delpondency has never fo far prevailed as to depre& me to, negligence; fome faults will at 
Taft appear tol be the effeéts of anxious diligence and perfevering aétivity. The nice and fubtle 
ramifications of meaning were not eafily avoided by a mind intent upon accuracy, and convinced of the 
neceflity of difentangling combinations, and fepasating fimilitudes. Many of the diftinétions which 
to common readers appear ufele(S and idle, will be found real and important by men yerled in the 
fehool philofophy, without which no ditionary ever hall be accurately compiled, of {kilfully examined. 


Some fenfés however there are, which, though not the fame, are yet fo nearly allied, that they 
are often confounded. Moft men think indiftiinetly, and therefore eauinor tpeak with exadtnels; and 
confequently fome examples might be indifferently put to either fignification : this uncertainty is nor to 
be imputed tome, who do not form, but regifter the Janguage; who do not teach men how they 
fhould think, but relate how they have hitherto expreffed their thoughts, 





‘The imperfe& fenfe of fore examples I lamented, but could not remedy, and hope they will be 
compenfited by innumerable paflages (eledted with propriety, and preferved with exaétnels; fome 
Shining with fparks of imagination, and fome replete with treafures of wifdom,  * 


"The orthography and etymology, though imperfect, ate not imperfect for want of care, but be- 
cau care will not always be fuccefiful, and recolleétion or information come too late for ule. 


‘That many terms of art and manufacture are omitted, muit be frankly acknowledged ; but for 
this defect I may boldly allege that it was unavoidable: I could not vifit caverns to learn the miner's 
language, nor take a voyage to perfeét my fkill in the disleét of navigation, nor vilit the warehoutes of 
merchants, and fhops of artificers, to gain the names of ‘wares, tools and operations, of which no mention is 
found in books ; what favourable accident, or ealy enquiry brought within my reach, has not been ne- 
gleGted ; but it had been a hopelefs labour to glean up words, by courting living information, and contelt- 
ing with the fallennef$ of one, and the roughnefs of another. 


To furnifty the academicians della Crue with words of this kind, a feries of comedies called 
la Fiera, or the Fair, was profelfedly written by Buonareti; but T had no fach afiftant, and 
therefore was content to want what they mutt have wanted likewife, had they not luckily’ been 
fo fapplicd. 










Nor are all words which ‘are not found in the vocabulary, to be Tamented as omiffions. OF the 
Jaborious and mercantile part of the people, the diétion is in a great meafure cafual and matable 5 
many of theie terms are formed for fome temporary or local convenience, and though current at certain. 
times and places, are in others utterly unknown. ‘This fugitive cant, which is always in a fate of 
increafe or decay, cannot be regarded as any part of the durable materials of a language, and there- 
fore mutt be fuffered to perith with other things unworthy of prefervation, 





Care will (ometimes betray to the appearance of negligence. He that is catching opportunities which 
feldom occur, will {uffer thofe to pals by unreguarded, which he expects hourly to return he that is 
fearching for rare and remote things, will neglest thofé that are obvious and familiar : thus. many of 
the molt common and curfory words have been inferted with little illufteation, becaufe in gather 
ing the authorities, Ifoibore to copy thofe which I thought likely to occur whenever they wore wanted.

There is another caufe of alteration more prevalent than any other, which yet in the prefent tate 
of the world cannot be obviated. A mixture of two languages will produce a third diftinet 
from both, and they will always be mixed, where the chief part of education, and the mof conf 
cuous accomplithment, is fkill in ancient or in foreign tongues. He that has long cultivated another 
Tanguage, will find its words and combinations croud upon his memory ; and haite andinesligence, 1e- 
finement and affeétation, will obtrude borrowed terms and exotick expreffions, 








The great pelt of fpeech is frequency of tranflation, No book was ever turned from one lan= 
gage into another, without imparting fomiething of its native idiom ; this is the molt mifchievous and 
comprehenfive innovation 5 fingle words may enter by thoufands, and the fabrick of the tongue continue 
the fame, but new phrafeology changes much at once; it alters not the fingle ftones of the building, 
bit the order of the colimns. If an academy (hould be eftablithed for the cultivation of our file, 
which I, who can never with to fee dependance multiplied, hope the Spirit of Enzi/h liberty wilk 
hinder or deftioy, let them, inftead of compiling grammars and diétionaries, endeavour, with all 
their influence, to flop the licence of tranflatours, whofe idlenefS and ignorance, if it be fulfered 
to proceed, will reduce ts to babble a dialect of France. 


If the changes that we fear be thus irrefiftible, what remains but to-acquiefve with filence, as in the 
other infurmountable diftreffés of humanity? it remaiis’ that we retard what we cannot repel, 
that we palliate what we cannot cure. Life may be lengthened by care, though death cannot be 
ultimately defeated: tongues, like governments, have a natural tendency to degeneration ; we have long 
preferved our conftitution, let us make fome ftruggles for our language. 


In hope of giving ldngevity to that which its own nature forbids to be immortal, I have devoted 
this book, the labour of years, to the honour of my country, that we may no longer yield the palm of

and much has always been {pent in provifion for the day that was paffing over me; but J fhall not think 
my employment ufélefs or ignoble, if by my affiftance foreign nations, and diftant ages, gain accefs

In this work, when it fhell be found that much is omitted, let it not be forgotten that much like 
wile is performed ; and though no book was ever fpared out of tendernefs to the authour, and the 
world is Iitile folicitous to: know whence proceeded the faults of that which it condemns; yet it may 
gratify curiofity to inform it, thet the Engli/> Dictionary was written with little affitance of the learned, 
and without any patronage of the great; not in the foft obfcurities of retirement, or under the fhelter of 
academick bowers, but amid(t inconvenience and diftraétion, in ficknefs and in forrow: and it may 
reprefs the tdumph of malignaut criticifm to obferve, that if our language is not here fally difplayed, I 
have only failed in an attempt which no human powers have hitherto completed. If the lexicons of 
ancient tongues, now immutably fixed, and comprifed in a few volumes, be yet, after the toil of fuc- 
ceflive ages, inadequate and delulive; ifthe agarcgated knowledge, and co-operating diligence of the Italian 

ademicians, did not fecure them from the cenfure of Beni; if the embodied criticks of France, when 
fifty years had been fpent upon their work, were obliged to change its oeconomy, and give their fecond

THE 


ENGU LSA LANGUAGE. 


HOUGH the Britains ox Wels were the firkt 

poffeflors of this ifland, whofe names are. re- 

corded, and are therefore in civij hiftory al- 
ways confidered as the predeceffors of the prefent inha- 
Bitants; yet the deduction of the Engijh language, 
fiom the ‘earlie(t times of which we have any kno 
Jedge to its prefent ftate, requires no mention of ther 
for we have {0 few words, which can, with any proba 
bility, be refered to Britipb roots, that we juttly regard 
the Saxons and Vee, as nations totally diftingt. Ie has 
been conjectured, that when the Saxons feized this 
country, they fulfered the Britains to, live among them 
in a ftate of vallalage, employed in the culture of the 
ground, and other laborious and ignoble fervices, But 
tis fearcely poffible, that a nation, however depreift 
fhould have been mixed in confiderable numbers with 
the Saxons without fome communication of their tongue, 
and therefore ic may, with great reafon, be imagined, 
that thofe, who were not theltered in the mountains, 
perithed by the ford. 

‘The whole fabrick and fcheme of the Exglifh lan- 
guage is Gotbick or Teutonick: it is a dialed of that 
tongue, which prevails over all the northera countries 
of Lurope, except thofe where the Sclavonian is {poken, 
OF thefe languages Dr. Hickes has thus! exhibited the 
genealogy. 














GOTHICK,

Frificl Norwegian, 
Englifh Swedilh. 
Danith, 


OF the Gorbick, the only monument remaining isa 
copy of the gofjsels fomewhat mutilated, which, from 
the filver with which the charaéters are adorned, is 
called the fiver ek, Te is now preferved at Uplal, and 
has been twice publifhed. Whether the dition of this 
venerable manufcript be purely Gorbick, has been 
doubted ; it feems however to exhibit the molt ancient 
dialect now to be found of the Teutonick race, and the 
Saxon, which is the original of the prefent Exgiijh, was 
either derived from it, or both defcended from fome 
common parent. 





What was the form of the Saxon language, when, 


about the year 450, they firit entred Britain, cannot 
now be known, They feem to have been a people 
without learning, and very probably without an alpha- 
bets their fpeech therefore, having been always curlory 
and extemporancous, mull have been artlefS and uncon- 
nected, withour any modes af tranlition or involution of 
claufes which abruptnels and inconnection may be 
ferved even in their later writings. This barbarity may 




















bbe flapped’ to_have ‘continued during their wars with 
the Britains, which for a time lefe them no leifurefor 
folter:fludies ;:nor is there any, reafon for fuppofing ic 
abated, till the year 570, when ugu/line came: from 
‘Rome to convert them to Chriftianity. The Chriftian 
religion always implies or produces a certain degrce of 
ivility and learning; chey then became by degrees ac- 
quainted with the Roman language, and fo gained, from 
time to time, fome knowledge and elegance, cll in three 
centuries they had formed-a language capable of ex- 
prefiing all the fentiments of a civilifed people, as 
appears by king Alfred's paraphrale,or imitation of 
Beethius, and his snort preface, which 1 haye feletted 
as the Arft Specimen of ancient Engh/i.

This may perhaps be confidered as a fpecimen of the 
Saxon in its highelt feate of purity, for here are fcarcely 
any words borrowed from the Roman dialeéts, 









Je they have often this convenience, that the fame 
ok, being tranflated in diferent ages, affords oppor- 
tunity of marking the gradations of change, and bring 
ing one age into comparifon with another. For this 
purpofe T have placed the Saxon verfion and that of 
Wickliffe; written about the year 1380, in oppofite co- 
lumns ; becaufe the convenience of ealy collation feems 
greater than that of regular chronology.

JN the dayes Of Eroude kyng of Judee ther was a

4 And it bifel_ that whanne Zacarye {chould do the 
office of prefthod in the ordir of his courfe to fore 
God. 

5 Aftir the cuftom of the prefthod, he wente forth 
by lor and entride into the temple to encenfen, 


6 And at the multitude of the puple was withoue

7 And an aungel of the Lord apperide to him : and 
flood on the right haf of the auter of encent

‘9 And the aungel fayde to him, Zacarye dréde thou

bere to thee a fone: and his name fehal be clepid Jon, 


10 And joye and gladyng fehal ‘be to thee: and 
Manye fehulen have joye in his natyvyte

fehal not drinke wyn ne fydyr, and he fchal be fulfld 
with the holy goft yir of his modir wombe, 

12 And he fchal converte manye of the children of

ENGLISH LANGUAGE, 


‘OF the Sawn poetry fome fpecimen is neceffaty, 
though our ignorance of the laws of their mette and 
the quantities of their fyllsbles, which it would be 
very difficult, perhaps impoffible, to recover, excludes 
us {rom that pleafure which the old bards undoubtedly 

aye to their contemporaries. ( 

‘The fir poetry of the Savons was without rhyme, 
and-confequently mut have depended upon the. quan- 
ticy of their fylables s but they began in time to imi- 
tate their neighbours, and clofe their verfes with cor- 
refpondent founds. ¢ 

‘The two palfages, which I have feleéted, contain 
apparently the rudiments of our prefent lyrick meaflres, 
and the writers may be juftly confidered as the genuine 
anceftors of the Aagli/b poets.

About the year 1150, the Saxon began to take & 
form in which the beginning of the prefent Zyglifo may 
be plainly difcovered; this change feems nor to have been. 
the effeét of the Norman conquelt, for very few Franch 
words are found to have been introduced in the firft hun 
dred years after it; the language muft therefore have been 
altered by caufes like thofe which, nocwith(tanding the 
care of writers, and fc inftituted to. obviate them, 
are even now daily making innovations in every living 
language. . 1 have exhibited a fpecimen of the language 
of this age from the year 1135 to 1140 of the Saxon 
chronicle, of which ‘the latter part was apparently 
written near the time to which it relates.

In thele fragments, the adulteration of the Saxon 
tongue, by a mixture of the Normati, becomes appa-

Sir Yokn Mandeville wrote, as he himfelf informs us, in 
the fourteenth century, and his work, which comprifing 
a relation of many different particulars, confequently 
required the ufe of many words and phrafes, may be 
properly fpecified in this place. OF the following qui 
tations, I have cholen the firft, becaufe ic thows, in 
fome meafure, the ftate of Lurepean fcience as well as 
of the Engle congue; and the fecond, becaule ic 
valuable for the force of thought and beauty of ¢ 
preffion. 








J[N that lond, ne in many othere bezonde that, no 
‘man may {ee the fterre tranfmontane, that is clept 
the fterre of the fee, that is unmevable, and that is to- 
ward the Nosthe, that we clepen the lode ferre. But 
men feen another fterre, the contrarie to him, that is 
toward the Southe, that is clept Antartyk. And right 
as the {chip men taken here avys here, and governe hem 
be the lode flerre, right fo don {chip men bezonde the 
parties, be the iterre of the Southe, the which fterre 
pperethe not to us. And this fterre, thac is toward 
the Northe, that wee clepen the lode fterre, ne ap- 
pperethe not to hem, For whiche eaufe, men may wel 
petceyve, that the lond and the fee ben of rownde fehapp 
and forme. For the partie of the firmament fehewethe 
in © contre, thar {chewethe not in another contree, 
‘And men may well preven be experience and fotyle 
compafiement of wytt, thst 2if a man fond paffages be 
fehippes, that wolde go to ferchen the world, men 
myglite go be fchippe alle aboute the world, and aboven, 
and beneehen. ‘The whiche thing I prove thus, altre 
that I have feyn, For I have been toward the parties 
of Braban, and beholden the Aftrolabre, that the fterre 
that is clept the transmontayne, is 53 degrees highe. 
Aad more forthere in Almayne and Bewme, it hathe 
‘58 degrees. And more forthe toward the parties {ep 
temurioneles, it is 62 degrees of heghte, and certyn 
mynutes. For I my felf have mefured it by the Aftro- 
labre. Now fehulle ze knowe, that azen the Tran 
montayne, isthe tother fterre, that is clepe Antartyke 5 
as I have feyd before. And tho 2 fterres ne meeven 
nevere. And be hem turnethe alle the firmament, righte 
asdothe a wheel, thar turnethe be his axille tree: fo 
that tho fterres beren the firmament in 2 egalle parties 5 
fo that it hathe als mochel aboven, as it hathe benethen, 
‘Aftre this, I have gon toward the parties meridionales, 
that is toward the Southe: and I have founden, that in 
Lybye, men feen firlt the fterre Antartyk, And fo fer 
T have gon more in tho contrees, thar I have founde that 
fterre more highe ; fo that toward the highe Lybye, it 
is 18 degrees of heghite, and certeyn minutes (of the 
whiche, 60 minutes maken a degree) altre goynge be 
fee and be londe, toward this contree, of that T have 
fpoke, and to other yles and londes bezonde that con- 
tree, I have founden the fterre Antartyk of 43 degrees 
of heghte, and mo mynates, And zif I hadde had 
































companye and fehippynge, for to go more bezonde, T 
trowe wel in cettyn, that wee feholde have fen alle the 
roundnefle of the firmament alle aboue. Foras L have 
fayd zou be forn, the half of the firmamenc is betwene 
tho 2 fterres.: the whiche halfondelle I have feyn, “And 
of thetother halfondelle, I have feyn toward the Northe, 
undre the Tranfmontane 62 degrees and 10 mynute 
and toward the partie meridionalie, T have (een unde the 
Antartyk: 33 degrees and 16 mynutes: and channe the 
halfondelle of the firmament in alle, ne holdeshe not 
but 180 degrees, And of tho 180, Thave feen 62 on 
that o part, and 33 on that other part, chat ben og de- 
grees, and nyghe the halfondelle of a degrees and fo 
there ne faylethe but that [have fen alle the firmament, 
faf 84 degrees and the halfondelle of a degrees and 
that is not the fourthe part of the firmament, For the 
4 partie of the roundneffe of the firmament hols 90 de- 
grees: fo there faylethe bur 5 degrees and an half, of 
the fourthe partie. And alfo I have feen the 3 parties 
of alle the roundneffé of the firmament, and more zit 
5 degrees and an half. Be the whiche I feye zou cer- 
teynly, that men may enyirowne alle cheerthe of alle the 
world, as wel undre as aboven, and turnen azen to his 
contree, that hadde companye and fchippynge and con- 
duyc: and alle weyes he icholde fynde men, londes, and 
yles, als wel asin this contree, For zee wyten welle, 
thac thei thar ben toward che Antartyk, thei ben ftreghte, 
feet azen feet of hem, that dwellen andre the tranf 
montanes als wel as weeand thei chat dwellyn under us, 
ben feet azentt feet. For alle the parties of fee and of 
ond han here appofitees, habitables or trepaflables, and 
thei of this half and bezond half, And wytethe wel, 
that afire thar, that I may parceyve and comprehende, 
the londes of Preftre John, emperour of Ynde bea 
undre us, For in goynge from Scotland or from Eng- 
Jond toward Jerofalem, men gon upward alweys. For 
oure Jond isin the lowe partie of the erthe, coward the 
Welt: and the lond of Preftre John is the lowe partie 
of the erthe, toward the Eft: and thei han there the 
day, whan wee have the nyghte, and alfo highe to the 
contiarie, thei han the nyghte, whan wee han the day, 
For the erthe and the fee ben of round forme and {chapp, 
as I have feyd belorn. And thar that men gon upward 
to ocoft, men gon dounward to another coft, Alf 
zee have herd me feye, that Jerufalem is in the myddes 
of the world; and chat may men preven and fehewen 
there, be a fpere, that is pighte in to the erthe, upon 
the hour of mydday, whan it is equenoxium, that 
{chewethe no fehadwe on no fyde, And that ic (cholde 
ben in the myddes of the world, David wyeneffethe ic 
inthe Plautre, where he feyche, Deus operatus eft fa- 
luté in medio terre, ‘Thane thei that parten fro the 
parties of the Welt, for to go toward Jerufalem, als 
many iorneyes as thei gon upward for to.go thidre, in als 
many iorneyes may thei gon fro Jerufalem, unto other 
confynyes of the fuperficialtie of the erthe bezonde. 
And whan men gon bezonde tho iourneyes, towarde 
Yade and to the foreyn yles, alle is eavyronynge the 
roundneffé of the erthe and of the fee, undre oure con-

tymes of o thing, that I have herd cownted, whan I 
was zong; how a worthi man departed fometyme from

callynge on oxen in the plowghe, fuche wordes as men 
fpeken to beftes in his owne contree: whereof he hadde

But I feye, that he had gon fo longe, be londe and be

in tharyle, he knew wel, that it was the yle, where he 
had het fpeke bis ownt langage before, aid the cal- 
Jynge of the oxen atthe plowghe: and that was fib 
thinge. But how it femethe to fymple men unlethed, 
that men.ne mowe not go undre the erthe, and alfo that 
men Itholde falletoward the hevene, ftom undre! But 
that may not be, upon leffe, than weemowe falle coward 
hhevene, fro the erthe, whete wee ‘ben. For fro what 
partic of the erthe, that men duellé, ‘outher aboven or 
benethen, it femethe alweyes to hem that duellen, that 
thei gon more righte than ony other folk. And righte 
as itfemethe to us, that thei ben undie us, righte fo it 
femethe hem, that wee ben uidre hem. For zif'a 
man myghte falle fro the érthe unto the firmament; be 
grettere refoun, the erthe and the fee, that ben fo grete 
and fo hevy, {cholde fallen to the firmament : but that 
may not be: and therfore fithe oure Lord God, Non 
imeas me, qui fufpendi terra ex nihilo? And alle be 
it, that it be poffible thing, that men may fo envyronne 
alle the world, natheles of a 100 pérfones, on ne 
myghte not happen to returnen in to his contre. or, 
for the gremefic of the erthe and of the fee, men may 
go be a too aid a 1000 other weyes, that no man 
cowde redye him perfitely toward the parties that he 
cam fro, but_zif it were be aventure and happ, or be 
the grace of God. Forthe ertheis falle large and fulle 
gret, and holt in roundneffe and aboure envyroun, be 
aboven and be benethen 204.25 myles, aftre the opyayoun 
of the olde wife aftronomerts, And here feyenges T 
repreve noughte. But aftre my lytylle wyt, it femethe 
me, favynge here reverence, that it is more, Arid for 
to have’ bettere underftondynge, I feye thus, ‘be ther 
ymagyned a figure, that hathe a grév compas ; and. 
aboute'the poynt of the grer compas, that is clepet the 
centre, be made another litille compas: than attre, be 
the grec compafs devifed be lines in manye parties ; and 
tharalle'the lynes meeten at the centres fo that in as 
many parties, as the grete compas fehal be departed, in 
als manye, fchalle be departed the litle, thatis aboute 
the centre, alle be it, that the fpaces ben leffé, Now 
thantne, be the gret compas reprefented for the firma- 
ment, and the litile compas reprefented for the erthe. 
‘Now thanne the firmament is devyfed, be aftronomeres, 
in #2 fignes + and every figne is devyfed in 30 degrees, 
that is 360 degrees, thar the frmament Nathe aboven. 
Alfo, be the erthe devyfed in als many parties, as the 
firmament ; “and lat every partye-anfivere to a degree of 
the firmament: and wycethe ic wel, that aftre the 
auétoures of altronomye, 700 furlonges of erthe an- 
fweren to a degree of the firmament; and tho ben 87 
‘miles and 4 furlonges. Now be that here multiplyed

of § furlonges, afcre myles of ouré contree. So moche 
hath the erthe in rouindneffé, and of heghte enviroun, 
aftre myn opynyoun and myn undirftondynge, And

therefore be confidered as the father of our poetry.

does not however appear to have deferved all the praife 
which he shas received, or all the cenfure that he has

and, in confidence of his abilities, ventured to write 
of what he had not examined, afcribes to Chaucer the 
firft refinement of our numbers, the firft production of 
aly and nacural rhymes, and the improvement ef our

him in harth terms for having vitiated his native fpeech

‘Whereas good wyil gan me conftrayne,

My penne to reft I durft not procede, 


Fortefewe was chief juftice of the Common-Pleas, in 
the reign of king Henry VI- He retired in 147%. after 
the battle of Tewkefbury, and probably wrote moft of 
his works in his privacy. The following paflage is fe- 
leéted from his book of the Difference between an abjo- 
lute and limited Monarchy. 


FX may peraventure be marvelid by fore men, 
why one Realme is a Lordthyp only Royall, and the 
Prynce thereof rulyth yt by his Law, callid Jus Regale; 
and another Kyngdome isa Lordichip, Rojal and Poli- 
tike, and the Prince thereof rulyth by a Lawe, callyd us 
Politicum & Regale ; fythen thes two Princes beth of 
egall Aftate. 

To this dowte it may be anfweryd in this manner 5 
The firtt Infticution of thes twoo Realmys, upon the 
Incorporation of them, is the Caufe of this diverfyte. 

‘When Nembroth by Might, for his own Glorye, made 
and incorporate the firft Realme, and fabduyd i to hym- 
felf by Tyrannye, he would not have it governyd by any 
other Rule or Lawe, but by his own Will; by which 
and for th? accompliftiment thereof he made it, And 
therfor, though he had thus made a Realme, holy Scrip- 
ture denyyd to cal hym aKyng, Qua Rew dicitur a 
Regendos Whych thyng he dyd not, but oppreffyd the 
People by Myght, and therfor he was «Tyrant, and 
callid Primus Tyrannorum, But holy Writ callich’ hym, 
Robusius Venator coram Deo For as the Hunter takyth 
the wyld bette for to fele and cate hyms fo Nembroth 
fubduyd to him the People with Might, to have their 
fervice and their goods, ufing upon them the Lordfchip 
that is callid Dominium Regale tantum, 
Jus that was callid firfta Kyng, and after hym his Sone 
Nynus, and after hym other Panyms; They, by Exam- 
ple of Nembroth, made them Realmys, would not have 
them rulyd by other Lawys than by their own Wills. 
Which Lawys ben right good under good Princess 
and their Kyagdomsa then moft refemblyd to the Kyng- 
dome of God, which reynith upon Man, rulyng”him 
by hys own Will, Wherfor many Cryftyn Princes 
ulen the fame Lawe ; atid therfor it is, that the Lawys 
fayen, Qued Principi placuit Legis babet vigorem, And 
thus [ foppofe frit beganne in Realmys, Daminium ton- 
tm Regale, But afterward, whan Mankynd was more 
manfuete, and better difpofyd to Vertue, Grete Com- 
maunalties, as was the Felithip, that came into this Lond. 
with Brute, wyllyng to be unyed and made a Body Po- 
litike callid aRRealme, havyng an Heed to governe it 
as after the Saying of the Philofopher, every Commu- 
naltie unyed of many parts muft needs have an Heed 
than they chofe the fame Brute to be their Heed and 
Kyng. And they and he upon this Incorporation and In- 
fiitution, and onyng of themfelf into a Realme, ordeynyd 
the fame Realme fo to be rulyd and juftyfyd by fuch 
Lawys, a3 they al would affent unto; which Law ther- 
for is callid Politicums and bycaule it is mynylteid by a 
Kyng, itis callid Regale. Dominium Politicum di

‘The Kyng of Scotts reynith upon his People by chis

Diodorus Syculus iaith, in his Boke de prijcis Hiftoris, 
‘The Realme of Egypte is rulid by the fame Lawe, and 
thetfor the Kyng therof chaungich not his Lawes, with- 
out the Affent of his People. And in like forme as he 
faith is ruled the Kyngdome of Saba, in Felici Arabia, 
and the Lond of Libie; And alfo the more parte of al 
the Realmys in 4fiite. Which manner of Rule and 
Lordihip, the fayd Diodorus in that Boke, praylith grete- 
ly, For it is rot only good for the Prince, thar may 
thereby the more fewerly do Juftice, than by his owne 
Anbitriments bucit is alfo good for his People that re- 
ceyve therby, fuch Juftice as they defyer themfe 

as me feymth, it ys thewyd opinly ynough,

For that one Kyngdome beganne, of and by, the Might 
of the Prince, and thar other beganne, by the Defier and 
Inftitution of the People of the fame Prince. 















Of the works of Sir Thomas More it was neceffary to 
give a larger fpecimen, both becaufe our language was 
then in a greardegree formed and fettled, and becaufe ic 
appears from Ben fobn/en, that his warks were confidered. 
as models of pure and elegant ftyle. The tale, which 
is placed frft, becaufe earlielt written, will thow what an 
attentive reader will, in perufing our old writers, often 
remark, that the familiar and colloquial part of our lan- 
guage, being difufed among thofe claffes who had no 
ambition of refinement, or affeétation of novelty, has 
faffered very little change. There is another reafon why 
the extraéts from this authour are more copious : his 
works are carefully and correétly printed, and may there- 
fore be better trufted than any other edition of the 
Englifs books of that, or the preceding ages.

Of Avyectives,

being added to fubftantives in all relations without any. 
change; a3, a good woman, good women, of a goed wo 
man; a good man, good men, of good sien. 


The Comparijon of Adjesiives. 

The comparative degree of adjeétives is formed by 
aakling er, the Superlative by adding of, to the poftives 
as, fair, faiver, fairefts Ievely, lovelier, lovelies fzveet, 
fiveeter, fweete?s lav, lower, lowes high, higher, 
highe?. 

“Some words are irregularly compared ; as goad, Better, 
deft bad, woorfe, work little, Iefs, leafts rear, nearer, 
next’, much, more, moft many (or mae), more (for moer), 
moft (for moet); late, latter, lateft o laf. 

‘Some comparatives form a {uperlative by adding moft, 
as nether, nethermofts outer, outmaft s under, undermoft ; 
ap, upper, uppermoft s fore, former, foremop. 

“Moft is Sometimes added toa fubltantive, as topma/t, 
Seushmof. 

Many adjeétives do not admit of comparifon by ter- 
minations, and are only compared by more and m/l, as 
Benevolent, snore benevolent, moft benevolent. 

‘All adjeétives may be compared by more and maf 
even when they have comparatives and fuperlatives re~ 
gularly formed; as fair; fairer, or more fair 5 faireft, 
or mot fair, 

[n adje@ives that admit a regular conparifon, the comparative mare 
jp nae iguate iene iva as are fir alter wren 
for fairer, than ref fair for 

The comparifon of adjeétives is very uncertain ; and 
being much regulated by commiodioufnels of utcer- 
ance, or agreeablenels of found, is not ealily reduced 
to rules. 

Monofyllables ate commonly compared. 

Polyfyllables, or words of more than two fyllables, 
are {eldom compared otherwife than by moreand prof, 
as deplorable, more deplorable, maf deplorable, 

Difiyllables are feldom compared if they terminate in

Of Innecunan Veuns, 


The Englith verbs were divided by Ben Johafon into 
four conjugations,: without any reafon arifing from the 
nature of the language, which has properly but one 
conjugation, fuch as!hus been exemplified ; from which 
all deviations are tobe confidered as anomalies, which 
are indeed in our monofyHable Saxon verbs and the 
verbs detived from them very frequent ; but almoft all 
the verbs which have been adopted from other languages, 
follow the regular form, 

Our verbs are obferved by Dr. Wallis to be irregulanonly in the 
Sormation ofthe preterit, and its parieiple. Tndeed, in the feanti- 
nels of our conjugation there ts fearcely any other place for ire- 
gulaiey. 

‘The fittt irregularity, “is a Might deviation from 
the regular form, by rapid utterance’ or poetical con- 
tragtion: the laft fyllable ed is often joined with the 
former by fupprefiion of ¢3 as, dev'd for loved; after 
¢, ch, fh, fy k, +, and after the confonants /; #2, when 
more itrongly pronounced, and fometimes’ after #, 2, 
, if preceded by a shore vowel, # is ufed in pronun- 
iation, but very feldom in writing, rather than ds as 
plact, foatch't, fpi't, wak’t, devel’, fal’t s for placd 
fuatcb'd, fd, wak'd, davel’d, fnel'ds ox placed, fuatched, 
‘Slbedy waked, dwselled, finelled. 

‘Thofe words which ‘terminate in ? or 2, ot p, make 
their preterite in 4, even in folemn language ; as crept, 
felt, dwelt y fornetimes after ss, ed is changed into #5 
as, vext: thisis not conftant, 

‘A long vowel is often changed into a fhort one ; thus, 
kephy Jeph, swept, crept, fivept s from the verbs, to keep, 
to fleip, toroeep, to creep, to fiveep. 

‘Where d or ¢ go before, the additional letter @ or 1, 
in this contraéted form, coalefee into one letter with the 

* radical d or ¢: if ¢ werethe radical, they coalefce into #5 





GRAMMAR 


OPED eG 


but if d ware the radical, then intod or f, as the one or 
the other letter may be more cafily pronounced : asy 
read, led, fpread, foed, fered, bid, bid, cbid, fed, bled, bred, 
Sfped, ferid, rid from the verbs, to reid, to eed, t0 
‘Spread, to fied, to foread, to bid, t0 hide, to chide, to feed, 
to bleed, to breed, to fpeed, to firide, to flide, to ride. 
And thus, caf, burt, cof, bun, cat, beat, fueat, fit, 
Git, finity writ, bit, bit, met, foot 5 from the verbs, to 
caf, to hurt, to coft, to bunt, t0 eaty to beat, to faeat, 
toJit, to quit, to fmite, to crite, to bite, to bit, to meet, 
to fooct, And in like manner, lent, font, rent, girts 
from the verbs, to lend, to fend, vo rend, to gird. 

The participle preterite or paflive is often formed in 
en, inftead of ed; as bien, taken, given, flain, known, 
from the verbs to be, to take, to give, to flay, to know. 

Many words have two or more participles, as not 
only soritten, Ditten, eaten, beaten, bidden, chidden, hot 
ten, chofen, broken but likewile swrit, Lit, cat, beat, 
bid, chid, foot, chofe, broke, are promifcuoully ufed in 
the participle, from the verbs to write, to dite, t0 eat 
to beat, to bide, to chide, to foot, co cboofe, to break, 
and many fuch like, 

In the fame manner firem, fhecom, ewn, snows, 
oaden, laden, as well as fess'd, fhew'd, hew'd, mow'd, 
loaded, laded, from the verbs 10 fos, to bet, to hew, 
to mew, to lead, or lade, 

Concerning thefe double participles it is difficult to 
give any rule; bur he fhall feldom err who remembers, 
thar when a verb has a participle diftinét from its pre~ 
terite, as crite, wrote, written, that difting participle 
is more proper and elegant, as Tée Dock is written, is 
better than he book is wrote, though serore may be ufed 
in poetry, 

‘There are other anomalies in the preterite. 

1. Win fpin, begin, farm, Strike, fick, fing, fling, fing, 
ring, coring, Jpring, fovings, drink, fink, firink, fink, 
come, run, find, bind,” grind, wind, “both” in the pre~ 
terite imperfeét and’ participle pallive, give wor, pur, 
begun, feoum, firuck, fuck, fang, fing, fing, rung. 
sorung, fprung, fous, drunk, Junk, faranks bung, cone, 
run, found, bound, ground, wound.” And mot of them 
are alfo formed in the preterite by a, 2s Began, rang, 
Sang, fprang, drank, came, ran, and fome others; but 
‘malt of thele are now obfolete, Some in the participle 
paflive likewife take en, as firiekeny fructen, drunken, 
bounder, 

2. Fight, teach, reach, feck, befeech, catch, buy, bring, 
think swork, make feught, taught, raught, fought, be- 
Sought, caught, baught, brought, thought, wrought. 

But a great many of thele retain likewife the regular 
form, as teacbed, reached, befecched, catcbed, worked. 

3. Take, hake, furfuke, wake, awake, and, break, 
Speak, bear, fear,” fear, tear, sweave, cleave, frive, 
thrive, drive, fina, rife, arife, finite, swrite, bide, abide,

likewife formed by a, as Drake, fpake, Dare, bare, 
fare, tare, ware, clave, gat, begat, forgat, and per 
haps fome others, but more rarely. In the parti- 
ciple palfive are many of them formed by eas 
taken, foaken, forfaken, broken, fpoken, born, foorn, 
ficart, torn, worm, woven, cloven, ibriven, driven, rifen, 
fuitten, ridden, chofen, trodden, gotten, begotten, forget 
ten, fadden. And many do likewife retain the analogy

abided, feetbed,

Nouns are derived from verbs: 

The thing implied ithe verb 4s done or produced, 
is commonly either the:prefent of the verb as, tb love, 
dove to fright, 'a fright s ca'fight, agigbt ; oF the pre- 
terite of the verb, as, otrike, I ftrickor ftrook, a/trake, 

‘The aétion is the fame with the participle prefént, a8 
loving, frighting, feblings firiking: 

‘The agent, or perfon aéting, is denoted by the fyl- 
lable er added to the verb, as lover, frighter, friker. 

Subftantives, adjectives, and fometimes other parts 
of fpecch; are changed into: verbs: in which cafe the 
vowel is often lengthened, or the confonant foftened 5 
as, ahoule, to bodfe; brals, to'braze; glals, t2 glaze s 
grals, /o.graze: price, toprize; breath, to breathes a 
fith, 405 oyl, to axl, further; to further ; forward, 
10 forward; hinder, to binder. 

Somet mes the termination ev is added, efppecially to 
adjectives; as, hatte, 20 Agfews length, to. lengrhen ; 
ftrength, to Prengthen thor, to fborten 5 falt, ta faflens 
white, 10 whiten black, #0 Blacken ; hardy. ¢¢ barden je 
folt, to fofien. 

From fubstantives-are formed adjeftives of plenty, by 
adding the'termination 5.5, a loufe, lous. wealth, 
wealthy 5 health, bealiby; might, mighlys worth, 
worthy; wits citys lult, lis water, watery 3 earch, 
earthy ; wood, a wood, swéadys air, airy; a heart, 
Bearly; ahand, handy. 

‘om fubltantives are formed adjeétives of plenty, by 
adding the tetmination ‘ful, denoting abundance; as, 
joys jeyfiuls fruic, fraisfal’s youth, youthful’ care, care- 
fds ule, wefals delights delightful; plenty, plentiful 
help, belpfll 

Sometimes, in almoft the fame fenfe,. but with fome 
Kind of diminution thereof, the termination ime is 
added, denoting fometbing, ot in fame degrees as, de- 
light, delightfomes game, cameferie irk, irkfome s bur- 
den, burdenjome; trouble, troublefime s light, lgblfome 5 
hand, bandjomes alone, lensfeme’ voll, roilfeme, 

On the-contrary, ‘the termination Jy added to fub- 
ftantives, makes adjectives: fignifying want; as worth- 
Iefs, witleft, heartlefs, jaylefs, carelefs, belplofs, Thus 
comfort, comfersle/sy’ fap; faplefs. 

Privation or contrarlety is very often dénated by the 
particle ta” prefixed to ‘manly adjettives, or ix before 
words derived from the Latins as, plealant, ampleafant 5 
wile, unbife5 profitable, giprafitcble, patient, impa

Confus'd, and chiding, like the hollow ror

‘The firft letter of the European alphabets, has 
in the Englith language, three different founds, 
which may be termed the broad, open, and flen- 
der, 

9 The broad found refembling that of the Ger- 
‘mana is found, in many of our monofyllables, as all, wall, 
‘malt, falt; in which a is pronounced as av in eaujé, or aw in 
Jaws.“ Many of thefe words were anciently written with ax, 
cas fault, waulk; which happens to be ftill retained in fault. 
‘This was probably the ancient found of the Saxons, fince it 
almoft uniformly preferved in the ruftic pronunciation, and. 
‘the Northern dialects, as maun for man, haund for band. 

‘Aopen, not unlike the a of the Italians, is found in father, ras 

ther, and more obfeurely in fem, filly Be. 

A flender or clofe, is the peculiar a of the Englifh language, re> 

fembling the found of the French emafculine, or diphthong: at 
jin pais, or pethaps a middle found hetween them, or between 
the a and ¢; to this the Arabic @ is faid nearly to approach, 
OF this found we have examples in the words, place, face, 
afte, and all thofe that terminate in ation s as, relution, na 
tony goveration,

no more than one ot an indefinite indication, as, aman may 
come this way ; that is, any man. ‘This article has no plu 
fignification, Before a word beginning with a vowel, it is 
‘written ar 25, an ox, an egg, of which a is the contraétion, 
Ais fometimes a noun 3 as, 2 great 4, alittle a. 
A is placed before a participle, or participial noun and is con- 
fidered by Wallis as a contraction of af, when it is put before 
word denoting fome aétion not yet finifhed ; as, I am @-walke 
ng. Italfo feems to be anciently contracted from at, when 
placed before local furnamess as, Thomas a Becket. In other

BAROMETER, 1.f, [from 2, weight, and \dre2, meafire.] 
‘A machine for meafuring the weight of the atmofphere, and 
the variations in it, in order cielly to determine the changes 
of the weather. Ie differs from the barofeope, which only 
Shows that the air isheavier at one time than another, without 
fpecifying the difference, ‘The barometer is Founded upon the 
‘Torricellian experiment, fo called from Torricelli the inventor 
of it, at Florence, in 16435 which is = glafstube filled with 
mercury, horizontally fealed at oneend; the other open and 
immerged in a balon of ftagnant mercury ; fo that, as the 
weight of the atmofphere diminithes, the mercury in the tube 
will defeend, and, as it encreafés, the mereury will afcend ; the 
column of mercury fufpended in the tube, being always equ to 
the weight of the incumbent atmofphere, Many attemptshave 
Deen made to render the changes inthe Zarameter more fenfible, 
in ander to meafure the atmofphere more accurately and hence 
‘atofe a great number of harsncters of different ftru€tures. Dr. 
Halley obferves, in the Philephical Tranfattion, that in calm 
‘weather, when the air isinclined to rain, the mercury is com- 
monly low ; in ferene good (etled weather, high, On great 
‘winds, though unaccompanied with rain, the mercury islowelt 
of all, with reganl to the point of the compafs the wind blows 
an. The ret heights of de mercury are on eferly and 
noh-eatterly winds, ceteris parlur, After great florms of 
‘wind, when the mercury has been low, itrfes again very fat. 
Tn calm fiofly weather, it fands high. “The more northerly 
Places find greater alterations than the more fouthern; and 
‘within the tropicks, and near them, there is little or no varia- 
tion of the height of the mercury. ‘The rifing of the mercury 
forebodes fiir weather after foul, and an calterly ot north- 
ceafterly wind ; its filling portends foutherly or wefterly winds, 
or both Tn a form, the mec beginning tif ina prety

Thilofbers cannot ely determine whence tole alterations

‘The meafuring the heights of mountains, and finding the

the airis condeafed or expanded, in proportion to the weight o¢

‘A heavenly body in the planetary region appearing fad-

pearance, moving through its proper’ orbigy like a planet. 
Phe orbits of cams are elipfess having one of ther fot in 
the center of the fun; and being very long and eccentrick, 
they become invifible, wlten in that part moll remote feom the 
fun, Camets, popularly called blazing flars, are diftinguithed 
from other {tars by along train or tall of light, always op- 
polite to the fun: hence arifes a popular divifion of comets 
into three kinds, dearied, tailed, haired comets; though 
the divifion rather relates to the different circumitances of the 
fame comer, than to the phanomena of the feveral. ‘Thus 
when the comet is eaftward of the fun, and moves from it, 
the comet is faid to be bearded, harhatus, becaule the light 
‘marches before it. When the light is wellward of the fun, 
the comet is faid to be tailed, becaule the train follows it. 
When the comet and the fun sre diametrically oppofite, the 















































COM 


earth being between them, the train is hid behind the body of 
the comet, excepting a little that appears around it, in form 
of a border of hair, hence called crinitus. 

According to Sir sac Newton, the tail of a comet is a 
very thin feeder vapour, emitted by the head or nucleus of 
thecomiet, ignited by their near neighbourhood to the fun, 
‘and this vapour is furnithed by the atmofphere of the comet. 
“The tails are of various lengths and being, produced in the pe- 
lions of the comets wil goof along with thee hea into 
remote regions, and there gradually vanifh, "till the comets 
return towards the fun The vapours of comets being, thus 
dilated, rarefied, and diffufed through all the celeftial regions, 
may probably, by little and little, by means of their own gra- 
wit be ated down tothe plants and become inter= 
mingled with their atmofpheres. For the confervation of the 
water, and. moifture of the planet comets fee aolutly 
Yequifite; from whofe condenfed vapours and exhalations all 
that moifture which is fpent in vegetations and putrefadtions, 
and turned into dry earth, may be refupplied and recruited ; 
for all vegetables grow and increafe wholly from fluids ; and, 
ato ther greatelt party tur by putefation int earth agsin, 
‘an earthy fime ‘perpetually precipitated to the bottom of 
putrefying liquors. Hence the quantity of dry earth mult 
continually increafe, and the moifture of the globe decreate, 
‘and at Jalt be quite evaporated, if it have not a continual fup~ 
ply from fome part or other of the univerfe. And Lfu(peet, 
‘audds Sir Ifiacy that the fpitit which makes the fineft, fubtileft, 
and beft part of our air, and which is abfolutely requifite for 
the life and being of all things, comes principally from the 
comets. On this principle there feems to be fome foundation 
for the popular opinion of prefages from comets; fince the 
tail of a comet, thus intermingled with our atmofphere, may 
produce changes very fenfible in animal and vegetable bodies. 

‘The fume preat author has computed tha the fun’s heat, 
in the comet of 1680, was, to his heat with us at Midfummer, 
‘as twenty-eight thoufand to one; and thar the heat of the body. 
of the comet, was near two thoufand times as great as that of 
red-hot iron, He alfo calculates, that a globe of red-hot 
iron, of the dimenfions of ourearth, would fearce be coo! in 
fifty thoufand years. If then the comet be fuppofed to cool 
a hundred times as fait as red-hot iron, yet, fince its heat was 
athoufand times greater, fuppofing it of the bignels of the 
earth, it would not be cool in a million of years. Hitherto 
‘no comet has threatened the earth with a nearer approach than 
that of 16803 for, by calculation, Dr. Halley found, on No- 
Vemiber 11, that comet was not above one femidiameter of 
the earth to the northward of the way of the earth; at which 
time, had the earth becn in that part of its orbit, the comet 
would have had a parallax equal to that of the moon. What 
might have been the confequence of fo near an appulfe? 
contaét or flock of the celeilial bodies? a deluge, Mr. Whif- 
ton fays. Aftronomers have been divided about the return of 
‘comets, and time and obfervation muft determine the queftion, 
‘However, Dr. Halley has foretold the return of one in 1758, 
which formerly sppeated in 2456." Treenon, Chander
